Instructions

Step 1
Start by tossing the milk, flour, eggs, cilantro, melted butter, and chile-garlic sauce into a blender. Blend everything together until the batter is silky smooth and pretty thin—this should take about a minute. Let the batter rest for at least half an hour to thicken up a bit.

Step 2
When you’re ready, heat a crepe pan or a small skillet over medium heat. Brush a little melted butter around the pan, then pour in about half a cup of batter. Lift the pan and swirl it around so the batter spreads out evenly into a thin circle. Cook it until you see tiny brown spots forming on the bottom, usually about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3
Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula and flip the crepe over. Let it cook for another 30 to 60 seconds until it’s lightly browned. Slide the crepe onto a plate and repeat this with the rest of the batter, brushing more butter on the pan as needed. Stack the cooked crepes so they stay warm.

Next, whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese along with some salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5
Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño and cook until they soften, about 3 minutes. Add the ham and cook for another couple of minutes. Turn the heat down to low, stir in a tablespoon of melted butter, then pour in the egg mixture. Keep stirring gently until the eggs are scrambled but still moist—not too dry—about 3 to 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat.

Step 6
To assemble, spoon about a quarter cup of the egg filling onto the bottom third of each crepe and roll it up like a jelly roll. Keep going until all the crepes are filled and ready to enjoy!
